CHOOSE YOUR EVENT

Choose tournament play, then choose how teams enter

Single or double elimination controls how losses eliminate entrants. Swiss pairs managers by record across every round. Draft teams first adds a shared snake or auction room for 4–32 managers; it is required for Swiss.

Single elimination

Run a best-of-one or best-of-three bracket for 2–512 entrants. One match loss eliminates an entrant.

Double elimination

Run a winners bracket, losers bracket, Grand Final, and reset match when required for 4–256 entrants.

Swiss

Draft together, then play three rounds with 4–8 managers, four with 9–16, or five with 17–32 managers. Pairings follow the standings and avoid rematches when possible.

Draft teams first

Add check-in and one shared snake or auction draft before elimination or Swiss play. Locked drafted rosters carry directly into the selected tournament format.

Connected championship

Multi-pod league organizations can finalize qualification, retain each qualifying roster, and promote those teams into a connected single- or double-elimination championship.

Practice before the real event

Rehearse the complete organizer workflow privately

Signed-in organizers can create a private, clearly labeled practice event with one real owner seat and 31 synthetic bot seats. The current Regulation M-B showcase uses six-Pokémon teams, auction prices, five Swiss rounds, and a Top 8 playoff so registration, bidding, standings, results, and bracket controls can be taught before a live event.

The auction recap preserves winning bids and budget totals, while eligible elimination and Top Cut match cards can show compact team previews when roster publication is authorized. Synthetic entries never represent real participation, and private practice workspaces stay outside public search discovery.

REGISTRATION TO CHAMPION

Keep tournament play and result history together

Operators publish the regulation and event times, open check-in, start the event, confirm reported results, and make bounded corrections when needed. DraftCenter draws opening positions automatically; tournament results determine later standings and Top Cut placement.

Public events appear in the directory for spectators. Private events and commissioner controls remain available only to the people who have access; DraftCenter does not publish private registrations, rosters, or workspaces for search discovery.
